"By hosting a Newtown Anniversary Event, you are joining thousands of Americans across the country as we remember the tragic events that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School one year ago. Supporters will be gathering at events in communities across the country, with partner organizations, to pay tribute to the 26 victims and call on Congress to finally take action to make our communities safer."Of course, it's that last bit that really rankles. We all know that calling on "Congress to finally take action" is prog-speak for demanding more gun control. If this were a "national moment of prayer" or a "day of remembrance" no one (aside from a minuscule cadre of atheists) would be complaining. That's not what this is. A year ago, President Obama waged a battle for gun control, and the country overwhelmingly rejected his position. Yet here we are, 365 days later, and he's still trying to leverage the deaths of children in an ongoing effort to force anti-2nd Amendment legislation down the throats of the American people. This is a purely exploitative effort to use the murder of innocents to push Obama's decades-old gun control agenda. If you're the kind of person who would like to get involved with this effort, you can head on over to the site, pledge your allegiance, and they'll send you everything you need to get started. Creepy.
